Mirella Bentivoglio's 'L'Assente' at Museo Nuova Era, Bari

exhibition · 2026-05-04

Mirella Bentivoglio's exhibition 'L'Assente' at Galleria Museo Nuova Era in Bari accompanies the launch of an eponymous short story collection edited by Salvatore Luperto and Anna Panareo, published by Milella. Bentivoglio (Klagenfurt, 1922) engages with feminist poetics through a non-militant lens, creating verbo-visual works where word dominates via typographic variations and ironic semantic doublings. The show includes manipulated photographs and installations with perceptual distortions that suggest existential instability.
